SCHEDULE 13D

Statement for Schedule 13D/A:

This Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D is being filed by Pacific Electric Wire & Cable Co., Ltd. (“Pacific Electric”), Moon View Ventures Limited, B.V.I. (“Moon View”) and Pacific Holdings Group (“Pacific Holdings”), collectively referred to herein as the “Reporting Persons”, to amend and supplement Schedule 13D originally filed September 27, 2005 (the “Initial Statement”) as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on November 23, 2007, Amendment No. 2 filed on March 30, 2009, Amendment No. 3 filed on September 17, 2015 and Amendment No. 4 filed on January 25, 2022 (collectively “Schedule 13D”). Both Moon View and Pacific Holdings are direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of, and are beneficially owned and controlled by Pacific Electric.

The filing of this Amendment No. 5 shall not be construed as an admission that Pacific Electric, Moon View, Pacific Holdings or any of their executive officers or directors are, for the purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), the beneficial owners of any securities covered by this statement or that this statement is required to be filed by such persons.

This Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D relates to the common shares, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Shares”) of Asia Pacific Wire & Cable Corporation Limited, a Bermuda company (herein the “Issuer” or “Company”). The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 15/Fl., B. No. 77, Sec. 2, Dunhua South Road, Taipei, 106, Taiwan, Republic of China.

This Amendment No. 5 makes no changes to the information previously reported for Item 2.

As discussed in Item 4, the Reporting Persons used working capital to invest approximately $7,637,109 in newly issued Common Shares of the Issuer through participation in Issuer’s subscription rights offering.

On December 15, 2021 Issuer filed Amendment No. 3 to Form F-1 Registration Statement (the “F-1”) and filed its prospectus on January 14, 2022 (the “Prospectus”) setting forth the terms and conditions of its subscription rights offering to holders of record of its Common Shares as of January 7, 2022 (the “Rights Offering”). Under the provisions of the Rights Offering, the Reporting Persons received 10,430,769 basic subscription rights, which entitled the Reporting Persons to invest $0.60 per right towards the purchase of Common Shares at a price per share equal to the subscription price (as defined in the Prospectus) and over-subscription rights.

During the subscription period that began January 14, 2022 and ended January 31, 2022, each of the Reporting Persons fully exercised their basic subscription rights and Moon View also exercised its over-subscription rights. Following the expiration of the subscription period, the subscription price was determined to be $1.22 per share, as announced by Issuer in their press release dated February 2, 2022. Based on their respective investments in the Rights Offering, the Reporting Persons were issued Common Shares of Issuer as follows:

(a)       Pacific Electric, which exercised 1,410,739 basic subscription rights at an investment of $846,443, was issued 693,806 Common Shares of Issuer;

(b)       Moon View, which exercised 7,661,235 basic subscription rights and exercised over-subscription rights for a total investment of approximately $5,975,389, was issued 4,897,859 Common Shares of Issuer; and

(c)       Pacific Holdings, which exercised 1,358,795 basic subscription rights at an investment of $815,277, was issued 668,259 Common Shares of Issuer.

Other than the relationship information set forth in Item 5 above, there are no other contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) between the Reporting Persons and any person with respect to any securities of the Issuer.
